Trees grafted together at limbs near Hy Vee store
Lawrence residents including John Ross describe discovering two trees that have grown as one, with a bulging joint that may indicate tree cancer or insect damage. Researchers, like Terwilliger, note the union likely formed when a branch grafted to a neighboring tree, exchanging fluids to survive. The exact species remains unclear without leaf inspection.
